i think it's because we see ourselves everyday & therefore the gradual change doesn't really register in our brains. i have that same issue also - people have told me i no longer look the same, but i totally don't see it. Feel free to add me as a friend for some support if you'd like :wink:

1st of all - give yourself a pat on the back for getting started :flowerforyou: Next, please realize that each of us have to find a way that works for us, so expect to have some ups & downs. (Personally, i have found that i need protein much more than carbs but know that others don't need the protein as much.) Also, give…

Bump for Later

CONGRATULATIONS! You look great & it's inspirational to know that someone else who has the belly as a problem area was able to slim down there! WTG!!!

Wow - you have made awesome progress! Good for you :flowerforyou:

Bumping for later - i have PCOS also & would like to see some other information as well. Feel free to add me. :wink:

Bump for later - could use some new recipes :-)

Good for you :flowerforyou: Those NSV's are sweet aren't they?

That is AMAZING! You look WONDERFUL! :flowerforyou:

Wow - Congratulations! i'd love to know how you did it.

Just getting started with protein powder also - so i'm bookmarking for later!

i would suggest trying different combinations & making your own at home instead of going with a mix. Personally, i starting having a shake every morning about two weeks ago when trying to get away from "diet" soda & i love it! My own recipe uses a base of Folgers French Vanilla Cappuccino mix with 10 oz of water (90…

Bump for later :-)

Wow - what an inspiration!

i'm sorry - that can definitely be disheartening!

My HUH moment came when my niece who is 13 y/o & wears a size 00 in juniors came & asked me what diet i was on b/c she needed to go on it.....i was like are you kidding me?!? i'm 5'3" & weigh 147, size 10 --- don't even remember being in a size 00 as a teenager, so i just told her she was CRAZY!

Welcome aboard! Don't doubt yourself in this - just take it one day at a time & you'll do fine. i would suggest setting small goals for yourself - like 10 lbs b/c i know that looking at a substantial amount of weight to lose can definitely be discouraging! Feel free to add me as a friend :-)

Bump for later - would love to get some other ideas also :-)

Bump for later - i would love to see recipes for this :-)

Bump for later!

1st off - Welcome to MFP :-) Please feel free to send me a friend request if you'd like. Generally i'm in a time crunch in the mornings, so i don't have time to really "cook" anything & it has to be portable so i can take it in the car. Often times i will have a banana & a Special K Protein Bar. This worked well for me & i…

Bump for later - i'd like to get some ideas for my crock pot also :-)

Sweating tells me that i've done a good job working out - when i go to the shower (or leave the gym if i'm going home), my clothes are drenched in sweat! i have a very busy schedule & work out 5 days a week, so when i go to the gym, i want to leave there knowing that i made the most of my time. Granted i might not look my…

Bump for later

Bump for later - would like to know options for this also.

You look great! i was diagnosed with PCOS (ironically after having my 2nd child) & definitely find it harder to lose weight - plus it seems that i keep weight in my belly for sure! Thanks for sharing because it definitely is an encouragement to know that it can be done with this condition :-)

Thanks for the info! Bump for later!

For later!

Saving for later - these sound great :-)

Would it work with broccoli or does it have to be a leafy green?
